“Narb 101”
Narberth is tucked neatly within the borders of Lower Merion Township, but we are an entirely separate municipality, with our own government, police, fire, and sanitation services, and compact, walkable business districts in the center of town and along Montgomery Avenue.
See below for a virtual tour of our Borough: how to find us on the map, how to make your way here, how the Borough is governed, where to find public services, or just to dig into local history.
